DAKOTA Abound in Profusion and May’ Be Cultivated with Profit, Mr, Will Says URGES CAREFUL STUDY: Possibilities of Bismarck Peo-| ple for Beautifying Lawns Are Many j There are fully as many native shrubs and other plants suitable for town cultivation in North Dakota as in most of the eastern states, George . Will told members of the Nature Study club, at thejr meeting last night. # ‘North Dakota peonle who seek to’ beautify their homes and lawns will profit by devoting their time to adap- tation of native plants instead of en- deavoring to adapt plants which. they; may have known in other states from which they have come. Mr. Will said. | With the spring planting season ap- proaching, Mr. Will had been asked to outline before the club the possi- bilities of growing native plants in this section of the state. \ All Make Mistake. Native plants are, found in great profusion in coulees and along the streams in the state. the speaker in- formed. club members. He did not recommend — general _ transplanting, however, stating that the matter of adapting the plants for town use was difficult for untrained hands, A care- ful study of the possibilities was rec- ommended, The people of the entire Northwest have made the same mis- take as North Dakota people, in try ing to adapt plants not native to this section of the country, he said. A great many of our native plants and shrubs ure grown almost every- where except in North Dakota, Mr. Wil said. He cited as an illustration that last year’an eastern nurseryman advertised a certain kind of sun- flower at $1 a root. This, sunflower grows in profusion in, the bottom? near the river here, but is rarely seen in gardens. It was regarded in the east as au extremely © beautiful flower. Stations Study Problem. ‘State experimental stations in; South Dakota, and to a lesser degree, in North Dakota, have taken up the problem of adapting native plants, Mr. ‘Will said. The Mandan govern- ment eXperimental station also is en- gaged in this line of endeavor. The best planting season for trees for Bismarck and the Missouri Slope country is from the middle of April to the middle of May, There are, Mr, Will said, many kinds of trees adapta- ble to the state, 15 or 20 different kinds af native shrubs which would beautify lawns, and almost any kind of flowers will grow here, with care. J. iP. Jackson talked on “Some Birds of North Dakota.” Mr. Jackson is ay effective speaker and has a sympa- thetic and keen interest in the birds of our state. He told many enliven. ing annecdotes of the ways of the feathered friends, about our doors on the prairies and in the woods. The Nature Study club expect soon to go on a hike to study plants and birds in their native haunts. HARDING TALKS RAIL PROBLEMS 2 AVIASHINGTON, April 8—L.
